February DD/DDA Alumni Challenge

The Dirty Dozen girls and alumni have a monthly challenge featuring different themes. This month's theme is "Know When to Fold Em'..." using a different fold as well as a theme of luck, card games, poker...etc...you can see all of the uploaded designs here.

Since I have no card related stamps, I came up with the slogan, "Thank your lucky star." My intent for this design is for a thank you.

I began with Stampin' Up metallic papers: Brushed Copper, Gold, and Silver. I also used an unknown yellow gold metallic paper. The base is a top fold copper sheet, and the pieced stripe panel flips open to create another space for a sentiment. So in effect, the card has two folds.

I covered the chipboard with the yellow gold paper, inked it up with an Essential Glue Pad, then sprinkled Champagne Jewel Ritz micro glitter over the surface.

I used JustRite's Brayton Font to create the sentiment, stamping it with Versafine Black Onyx. I then heat embossed it with SU Gold Embossing Detail powder.

Finally, I must also mention that I do not thank any lucky stars; I thank the One who created those stars!
